"Write a brief account of the business," said he, "and I will lay it before the sovereign, who will no doubt see justice done." I went to Binetti's desk, and as soon as I had written down my true relation I gave it, unsealed, to the ambassador, who assured me that it should be in the duke's hands in the course of an hour.
He informed me that Madame Binetti's husband had gone off with his wife's maid, taking with him her diamonds, jewels, linen, and even her silver plate, leaving her to the tender mercies of the dancer, Pic. Her admirers had clubbed together to make up to her for what her husband had stolen.
I accepted the invitation, and Binetti's charming wife, taking the affair to heart, did not lose a moment in informing her lover, the ambassador, of all the circumstances. This diplomatist came into the room with her, and after hearing all the details from my lips he said that in all probability the duke knew nothing about it.
I stepped out along the street, and at a quarter to twelve I got to Binetti's, and found his wife looking out for me at the window. When I was in the room, whence I intended to escape, we lost no time.
We were to start at five in the morning, but the following adventure befell me: As I was leaving Binetti's house I was greeted very courteously by three officers whom I had become acquainted with at the coffee house, and I walked along the promenade with them. "We are going," said one of them, "to visit certain ladies of easy virtue; we shall be glad to have you of our company."
